SAMMY DAVIS Jr., who is recuperating from recurring throat cancer, canceled an engagement at a Lake Tahoe casino, a spokeswoman said. Davis was scheduled to appear at Harrah's Tahoe April 4-8 but withdrew because of illness, the casino said. The 64-year-old entertainer was released from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles last week, and his publicist, Susan Reynolds, said he went to his home there to recover. The 64-year-old singer-dancer, who most recently appeared in the 1989 movie Tap, underwent chemotherapy during his recent hospitalization.
